Have all the NYistas checked in? Just woke up and saw crazy on my television.
Marco: Do we look reasonable to you? Mal: Well. Looks can be deceiving. Jayne: Not as deceiving as a low down dirty... deceiver.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Jessica and Trudy have both been on FB, so they're good. Plus Tom. Who else do we have in NYC anymore? I feel like I'm forgetting someone.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I have been incredibly fortunate with this storm. Brief power outage last night(couple minutes) and no other problems. Government closed today, so I slept in. ~ma to all in NY/NJ.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
From DC - in town, at least, the rain has stopped, the wind's died down. I haven't been out since Sunday afternoon but looking out the window, our nice sheltered courtyard is full of leaves and small branches. The lawn furniture came through just fine, although the umbrellas were either taken in or are now ... in Pennsylvania, perhaps.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I think Maria lost power last night.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I remained confused why I have to be at work when NYC is in such a state.

Because books.
I'm here. Our power stayed on all night, which is incredible. The rest of the block was out for about two hours, but the transformer is literally right across the street from me, and PECO came and restored it. There are branches down, and there were a lot of sirens and flashing lights and bangs last night, but everything seems pretty quiet this morning. Our basement has a few inches of water in spots, but nothing dire.
I'm just trying to see how bad the damage is down the shore, and what's going on in the city. The flooding is really unbelievable.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
With the subways down, will it be possible for everyone in NYC to make it to work? (I mean not today, but later when everything's open again.)

Our wings are not tired.

Seriously, although one might suggest I am not exactly working.
In random disaster broadcast commentary, I thought the interpreter for Mayor Bloomberg rocked. She reminded me of my friend's deaf parents. They always spoke with terrific expression and animation. So often the person doing the interpretation is wooden.
